Know – to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty
How much can a person really know? I mean, you can know facts like 1+1=2 and the first President of the United States was George Washington. But what things in life can you really know? For example, when you woke up this morning, did you make the right choice to skip breakfast? or how about that person that asked you to the prom that you turned down?
Humans are forced to make hundreds of decisions each day without knowing what the immediate results may be. Some decisions may haunt a person for the rest of their lives. While others may torture them because they don’t know what may have happened if they made a different choice. You can make a choice based on the facts of a situation. But what happens when there are no facts to back up either choice and you have to make the decision immediately. Some decisions are based on the difficulty of implementing the right choice, so ultimately the wrong choice is the one made. While others will go with their “gut” feeling.
It scares me sometimes when I have to make a decision. What if its wrong? What if I can’t fix the problem that it may create?
